Abstract

A proposed low-temperature forging method is presented to enhance stainless steel bearings by creating a martensitic subsurface layer, significantly boosting bearing fatigue life due to increased surface hardness. This technique induces beneficial residual stresses, particularly in axial bearings, streamlining their construction and improving machine elements. Challenges persist, especially with radial bearings, but simplicity in axial bearing forging promotes compact, resource-efficient facility construction. Future research will focus on applying this technique to axial bearing washers, potentially replicating success in other bearing components. Despite the energy expenditure on cooling during forging, the substantial increase in bearing fatigue life offsets this, enhancing overall durability and reliability of critical machine components. Integration of this forging technique into bearing fabrication appears seamless, offering a promising trade-off between energy use and enhanced performance.
